The little ancestor of the family

"Yes!"

The village head was still immersed in the excitement of finding water. When he heard this, he immediately gave Erwang a slap on the face.

"You are not usually that smart, but now you are smart!"

Erwang immediately put his hands on his head and said, "Uncle Lizheng, are you praising me for being smart or are you complaining about me being stupid? This beating hurts too much!"

The head of the village pointed to his head.

"Can it hurt as much as I do?"

“But what you said is indeed a bit difficult to handle. Once the discovery of the water source is known to others, all the nearby villages will come to join in the fun.

When the time comes, that old fellow Zhao Fusheng will come to make me unhappy again, and I can't let him be happy this time!"

“Then let’s buy this mountain!”

Ye Xinran suggested.

"Buy it?" The village head's face turned green when he heard this. "You girl, do you know how much this mountain costs? Just buy it?"

After complaining, the village head suddenly remembered that Ye Xinran had said before that she wanted to buy Dongshan, so he looked at her with a smile on his face and said, "How about you buy Dongshan, and I will use the money to buy this mountain?"

"I don't!"

Ye Xinran's face was full of rejection.

"I can't afford that much money right now!"

"Then there's really nothing we can do!"

The excitement in the headman's heart over finding the water source completely disappeared.

In fact, digging canals and diverting water down the mountain are not problems. There are so many people in their village, and if everyone works together, they can get it done.

They were just afraid that someone would cause trouble, after all, the mountain had no owner. If Zhao Fusheng saw the benefits and bought the mountain first, they would get nothing.

"I'll think of a solution. Didn't Zhao Fusheng take a fancy to the large piece of land at the entrance of our village a few years ago? I can sell that land to him and then raise some money to buy Milu Mountain."

"Uncle Lizheng, that won't do. That's the most fertile land in our village. If we sell it to Donggou Village, how will we produce food in the future?"

"That's right. The people in Donggou Village already look down on us and say we are poor. If we sell them even that piece of land, they will go even further."

"Then what do you say we should do?" The village chief's brows were furrowed in worry.

"Why don't we go back to the village and ask everyone to chip in some money? After all, everyone has a share of the water once it's brought down the mountain."

Someone suggested.

"Oh!" The head of the village sighed.

How could he not know the situation of the villagers?

The fields have not produced any food in recent years, so everyone has tightened their belts and lived one meal hungry and the next full.

It’s hard enough to raise 50 taels of silver, how can you raise 200 taels?

So he had no choice but to say, "I can't think of a good solution right now, so let's go back first. Erzhu, you guys move the stones back and don't let others see it. When I think of a solution, we'll continue digging."

The group came with great excitement, but left disappointed.

Before he even got home, the village head had already made up his mind.

If it really doesn't work, they will just start digging. In case someone really buys the mountain, they can negotiate the price of water with the buyer.

Even if he risked his old face by defaulting on his debts, he couldn't just watch the water right in front of him and let the crops die of drought.

Ye Xinran didn't know what the village head was thinking. She had her own ideas when she returned home.

She knew that the village was poor, but she didn't expect it to be this poor.

If she cannot get the money out, the water use in the village will be controlled by others in the future. It will be very inconvenient for her to grow something in the future.

The best way is for her to give up her original target of Dongshan and directly buy Milu Mountain.

But in such a dynasty, it might not be safe for her to hold such an eye-catching place as Milu Mountain. She still had to rely on a big tree. The power of more than 300 households in Yunbian Village was much greater than hers alone.

Having made up her mind, Ye Xinran entered the space after the child fell asleep.

The herbs in the warehouse were all cut into small pieces, and the valuable ginseng was ground into powder. The only things that could still be sold were the few roots of Polygonum multiflorum that had not been processed yet.

She had thought about selling these Polygonum multiflorum a few days ago, but she was reluctant to sell them at that time. Now it seems that she has to sell them.

She took the Polygonum multiflorum out of the space and put it into the dowry box, thinking that if the village head really couldn't think of a solution in a few days, she would sell the Polygonum multiflorum to raise money.

Having made up her mind, she was no longer anxious.

Ask a few children to wash with you

Mushrooms, planning to stir-fry mushroom slices with meat in the evening.

The three little ones had never eaten morels before. They drooled at the plump mushrooms and asked worriedly, "Aunt, I heard that mushrooms are poisonous and can kill people if eaten. Is this mushroom not poisonous?"

"Of course, Auntie knows which mushrooms are poisonous and which are not. If you follow me and eat them, nothing will go wrong."

"Auntie is so smart!"

"Yes, how come Auntie knows everything!"

"I know more than the teachers in the school!"

Speaking of the teacher, Ye Xinran looked at Changsheng's feet and said, "Changsheng, your feet are almost healed. You can go to school tomorrow."

"Really?" Changsheng was very happy.

"Great, I don't understand what Erdan told me at all. I still don't understand a few things. I want to ask the gentleman tomorrow."

"Well, be careful not to jump." Ye Xinran reminded.

"it is good!"

The fried mushrooms in the evening were very delicious. Ye Xinran cooked a whole plate of them, but they were all eaten up. At the end, there was a small piece left stuck to the edge of the plate, which was picked up by Changping.

"Aunt, are you going up the mountain tomorrow? Take me with you, and let's go pick mushrooms together!"

"Okay!" Ye Xinran agreed immediately.

After discovering that the mountain was not that dangerous, Ye Xinran became a little bolder.

Children nowadays are not greenhouse flowers, so there is no need for her to lock them up at home. Why not take them to the mountains to learn more about herbs and plants? What if they can be used in the future?

During the remaining days, Changsheng went to school to study every day, while Changan and Changping followed Ye Xinran to the mountains to pick mushrooms.

While picking mushrooms, Ye Xinran was also paying attention to finding the herbs she wanted. As a result, apart from some worthless herbs such as seven-leaf clover, there was no trace of ice spirit flower on the mountain.

Soon, five days passed.

The village head couldn't think of any good way to raise money.

As the water shortage in the village became more and more obvious, he simply made up his mind and planned to take everyone directly to the mountain to dig.

Ye Xinran tried to dissuade him, "Uncle Lizheng, if you really can't raise the money, I can sell my dowry to help everyone buy this mountain."

"Really?"

The gauze on the head of the village chief had been removed, and the wound on his head was still scabbed, looking both pitiful and funny.

"Really? But I have a condition. Would you like to listen to it, uncle?" Ye Xinran said.
